    I too suffer from health anxieties. It seems common amongst us peri menopausal women. I believe all the weird symptoms we get are so out of character for us that we think something has to be wrong and yet tests prove otherwise.

      So very true. I am menapausel. On HRT patches, takes some of the symptoms away but not all. If I get a symptom I just think straight away I've got a illness. Hate feeling this way x

    I would take an ice pack and put it on hot burning spots. Sometimes my head would feel as if it were burning up so so I would also put it on my head too. I would also take vitamin c and I think vitamin c cured it. Hope this helps.

      Okay, I hope you bought vegetarian multi-vitamin, women who are going through the perimenopause phase if they buy synthetic ones it can cause a negative reaction. Especially since many of them use soy, which is a hormone disruptor. You have to be mindful of what you put in your body.
